Simpson offers a mid-October stay at a big house with sea views. Mark Warner offers a week at a holiday village, with three pools, childcare clubs and an activity programme, including sailing, tennis, cycling and fitness classes.

【22题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“Thriller, starring Claire Foy, Sylvia Hoeks and Stephen Merchant.(惊悚片,由克莱尔·福伊、西尔维娅·霍克斯和斯蒂芬·麦钱特主演)”可知,《蜘蛛网上的女孩》是一部惊悚片。故选B。
【23题详解】推理判断题。根据文章主要介绍了四档电视节目,包括音乐、电影、旅行和园艺。可推知,文章选自“娱乐”版面。故选C。
【答案】24. D 25. B 26. C 27. A
【导语】这是一篇说明文。本文主要讲述在各方的努力以及《濒危物种法》的颁布,濒危物种林鹳的数量呈上升趋势,所以官员们建议将林鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除。
【24题详解】推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句话“The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.(这些鸟已经适应了新的筑巢区,近年来,它们的群落数量增加了两倍,从29只增加到99只)”以及倒数第三段“ Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.(1984年,这一数字减少到只有5000对,而现在已经超过了10000对)”可推知,由于保护得当,林鹳的数量呈上涨的趋势。故选D。
【25题详解】细节理解题。根据第三段第一、二句话“Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home.(这主要归功于《濒危物种法》(ESA)提供的野生动物保护,该法可以限制这些物种所在地区的各种活动,如开发、采矿和石油钻探。该法案拯救了木鹳,并帮助保护和重建了整个东南部的重要栖息地,改善了水质,使无数其他以该地区为家的物种受益)”可知,ESA的保障措施对恢复木鹳种群起到了主要作用。故选B。
【26题详解】推理判断题。根据倒数第二段Deb Haaland所说的话“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species(将木鹳除名是一个重要的里程碑,也是联邦机构、州和地方政府、部落、保护组织和公民在保护和恢复我们最危险物种方面辛勤工作的显著成就)”可推知,Deb Haaland对木鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除持积极态度。故选C。
【27题详解】主旨大意题。本文主要讲述在各方的努力以及《濒危物种法》的颁布,濒危物种林鹳的数量呈上升趋势,所以官员们建议将林鹳从濒危物种的名单中移除,并且在移除之后还要继续对它们的数量进行进一步的监测。所以“拯救濒危木鹳的工作正在进行中”适合作本文的标题。故选A。
【答案】28. D 29. B 30. C 31. B
【导语】本文是说明文。文章主要讲述一项新的研究表明,迫使蜜蜂在生命早期开始寻找食物的环境压力可能会对蜂巢造成多米诺骨牌效应,加速它们的突然崩溃。所以作者号召大家共同努力,找到方法,能够尽早识别面临失败风险的蜂巢群体,这样就可以进行干预,并采取一切必要措施支持它们,帮助它们自愈。
【28题详解】细节理解题。根据第二段“The study showed that too many young bees leaving the hive can cause a tipping point in the tight society of a hive, leading to colony(群体) collapse within weeks.”(该研究表明,太多的年轻蜜蜂离开蜂巢可能会导致蜂巢紧密社会的一个临界点。导致蜂群在几周内崩溃。)可知,太多的年轻蜜蜂离开蜂巢,导致蜂群很快崩溃。故选D。
【29题详解】词句猜测题。根据第三段“There was a suggestion that there was some type of difference between precocious foragers(觅食者) and normal aged foragers”(有一种说法认为,precocious觅食者和正常老年的觅食者之间存在某种差异。)可知,precocious是形容词,和后面的形容词“normal aged(正常老年的)”构成对比,所以意思应该是“早熟的”,和选项A意思一致。故选B。
【30题详解】细节理解题。根据第四段“But if death rate roughly doubled, the model showed, the colony would be locked in a negative feedback circle of more young bees foraging at younger ages, leading to less stored food and fewer baby bees.”(但是模型显示,如果死亡率大约翻一番,蜂群将被锁定在一个负反馈循环中,更多的年轻蜜蜂在更年轻的时候觅食,导致储存的食物更少,更少的小蜜蜂。)可知,如果死亡率翻倍的话,更多的年轻蜜蜂将会在更年轻的时候被派出去觅食。故选C。
【31题详解】推理判断题。根据最后一段“The researchers are continuing their experiments and hope to come up with ways to identify a colony at risk of collapse. “The priority is finding ways that we can identify colonies at risk of failure as early as possible so you can intervene and do whatever you need to support them and to help heal themselves.” said Perry.”(研究人员正在继续他们的实验,并希望找到方法来确定一个有崩溃风险的群体。“当务之急是找到方法,让我们能够尽早识别面临失败风险的群体,这样你就可以进行干预,并采取一切必要措施支持它们,帮助它们自愈。”佩里说。)可知,作者写这篇文章的目的是想让更多的人参与进来,共同努力,找到方法,能够尽早识别面临失败风险的蜂巢群体,这样就可以进行干预,并采取一切必要措施支持它们,帮助它们自愈。故选B。
【答案】32.C 33.D 34. D 35.A
【导语】这是一篇记叙文,作者介绍了自己喜欢的歌手去世之后,回忆起他通过记录这位歌手的画家的作品认识歌手和父母建立亲密关系的故事。
32.词义猜测题。根据第一段“I didn’t show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals, when Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim’s shows and characters over the decades. (斯蒂芬·桑德海姆于2021年11月26日去世,享年91岁,当时我并没有表现出看他的百老汇音乐剧的inclination。相反,我内心深处想看看艾尔·赫斯菲尔德为桑德海姆几十年来的表演和人物画的画)”中的关键词“instead”可知,前后句意呈相反关系,作者“不想”听那位歌手的歌,而是想去看那位画家的画,所以划线部分inclination和B选项“A tendency (倾向)”接近。故答案为C。
33.细节理解题。根据第二段“As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times’s Arts & Leisure section. And they were also how I formed an early bond with my parents, one that stood over time and even into their years with Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病). (作为一个20世纪70年代在波士顿郊区长大的男孩,赫斯菲尔德的照片是我第一张去百老汇的门票,它们刊登在时报的艺术与休闲版上。这也是我和父母早期建立联系的方式,这种联系随着时间的推移,甚至在他们患有阿尔茨海默病的岁月里也没有改变)”可知,作者通过这位画家的作品和他的父母建立起亲密的联系。故答案为D。
34.细节理解题。根据第五段“Danielle and other friends introduced me to Sondheim’s music which evoked(唤起) my memories of Hirschfeld’s drawings. (丹妮尔和其他朋友向我介绍了桑德海姆的音乐,这唤起了我对赫斯菲尔德绘画的记忆)”可知,上大学后,是丹妮尔和其他朋友让作者认识了歌手桑德海姆,即朋友的推荐。故答案为D。
35.细节理解题。根据倒数第二段“But in my years as the theater reporter at The Times, they would ask what I was seeing in New York and were happy to hear about Angela Lansbury performing in a 2009 revival (重演) of Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music.” They remembered her characteristic eyes from Hirschfeld’ s drawings. (但在我担任时报戏剧记者的那些年里,他们会问我在纽约看到了什么,并很高兴听到安吉拉·兰斯伯里在2009年重新演出桑德海姆的《小夜乐》)。他们从赫斯菲尔德的画中想起了她独特的眼睛)”可知,是赫斯菲尔德的画,让他们深深地记住了这位歌手的表演。故答案为A。
七选五:36.F 37.C 38.A 39.E 40.G
【导语】这是一篇说明文,文章主要讲述如何通过洞悉自己的内心来更好地爱自己。
36.根据上文“You may not like some of what you find, but if you are serious about really loving yourself, you can use this insight to do some positive inner work.(你可能不喜欢你发现的一些东西,但如果你真的想真正爱自己,你可以用这种洞察力来做一些积极的内在工作)”可知,如果你对于爱自己是认真的,可以用这种洞悉内心来做一些积极的内在工作,下文讲述了三种具体的方法,故F项“这里有三种为更深层次的爱而获得更好的自我洞悉的方法”承上启下,符合语境。故选F项。
37.根据本段主题句“Listen Closely to Your Thoughts(仔细倾听你的想法)”可知,本段主要讲述仔细倾听自己的想法,结合下文“It is not necessary for you to write in it every day, but it helps to record various insights you gain as you go about your life.(你没有必要每天都写,但它有助于记录你在生活中获得的各种见解)”可知,空处应是提供倾听内心想法的方法——记录自己的想法,C项“帮助你倾听自己想法的一件事就是写日记”符合语境。故选C项。
38.本题是段落主题句,根据本段内容“By being honest with yourself, you will act according to truth instead of just what you tell yourself.(对自己诚实,你就会按照事实行事,而不是你告诉自己什么)”可知,本段主要说要对自己诚实,A项“对自己诚实”符合语境。故选A项。
39.根据下文“Breathing deeply during quiet time will also help you focus. I know it’s hard to find quiet time during a particularly busy day, but it’s so important(安静的时候深呼吸也能帮助你集中注意力。我知道在特别忙碌的日子里很难找到安静的时间,但这很重要)”可知,此处是说无论你如何使用这个时间,要找一个安静的时间集中精力去倾听内心的声音,E项“关键是通过关注自己的内心深处,把周围所有的噪音都排除在外”符合语境。故选E项。
40.根据上文“Despite what your mind may be telling you, you can have love with no limits.(不管你的思想告诉你什么,你都可以拥有无限的爱)”可知,不管内心告诉自己什么,都可以对自己有无限的爱,G项“关键是首先要无条件地爱自己”与上文语义一致,且符合全文主题。故选G项。

第43题 CAnaya Ellick是这个书法大赛的优胜者(winner)。
第44题 AAnaya Eliick获得这次书法大赛桂冠,这是一种认可(recognizes)。
第45题 B由前句中的“students with special needs”可知,参赛的孩子都是有智力或身体上残疾的,故选B。

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章主要介绍了高铁为中国经济社会发展做出的巨大贡献。
【56题详解】考查时态和语态。句意:自1876年中国推出第一列商业列车以来,这一推动经济持续发展的新引擎已逐渐成为标准。launch与the train为动宾结构,用被动语态。推出第一列商业列车发生在过去,用一般过去时。故填was launched。
【57题详解】考查名词。句意:就像19世纪英国和美国沿着铁轨出现的铁路城镇一样,中国的城市发展也是沿着铁路线进行的。该空作句子主语,用名词形式,growth是不可数名词。故填growth。
【58题详解】考查时态。句意:从那时起,网络就产生了商业机会的创造。句中时间状语为ever since,用现在完成时,The network是单数,谓语动词用单数。故填has resulted。
【59题详解】考查强调句。句意:这是一个不仅通过门票销售,而且通过其整体运力获利的生态系统,在今年国际金融困难的情况下推动中国前进。把该空和is以及that去掉,该句句意完整,语义清晰,可判断该句为强调句,强调句的基本结构是:it is/was + 被强调部分 + that +句子的其他成分,如果被强调的部分是人,可以用who代替that。故填It。
【60题详解】考查非谓语动词。句意:这是一个不仅通过门票销售,而且通过其整体运力获利的生态系统,在今年国际金融困难的情况下推动中国前进。an eco-system与 drive为主谓结构,因此用现在分词短语作状语。故填driving。
【61题详解】考查名词数。句意:过去仅进行商业活动的偏远城市现在与大型工业区相连。activity为可数名词,上文没有冠词,因此用复数形式。故填activities。
【62题详解】考查定语从句。句意:现在,人们可以去那些在周末之前无法到达的地方旅行。本句为限定性定语从句,先行词为places,在定语从句中作主语,指物,所以用关系代词which或that引导。故填which/that。
【63题详解】考查形容词比较级。句意:同样,他们有更多的途径进入偏远地区和较少探索的地区,在这些地区,与旅游业有关的人们的生活比以前有了显著改善。根据下文“less explored regions”可知,填空处应为形容词比较级。故填greater。
【64题详解】考查副词。句意:高铁为中国经济社会发展做出了巨大贡献。修饰动词contribute,应用副词形式。故填significantly。
【65题详解】考查介词。句意:随着网络的继续扩大,用不了多久,该国所有地区就会开始以同样相互依赖的速度前进。at the pace以……速度,为固定搭配。故填at。

Protecting our eyes
At present, an increasing number of senior high school students wear glasses and some even in high degree, which worries us a lot. In my opinion, there are some factors contributing to it. Firstly, we often use our eyes for too long, which is a decisive factor. Activities like focusing on a screen, whether that be a computer, television or smartphone, are tough on our eyes. What’s more, our ways of using eyes are not healthy. For example, reading in poor light can also harm our eyesight.
However, much can be done to protect our eyes. When reading, we should ensure proper lighting and take regular breaks, so that our eyes do not need to work too hard.

The clumsy yet graceful wood stork, which was on the brink of extinction in 1984, has recovered enough in Florida and other Southern states. The American wildlife officials proposed removing the waterfowl (水禽)from the endangered species list.
This symbolic species, which is the only stork native to North America, has rebounded because dedicated partners in the southeast have worked tirelessly to restore ecosystems that support it. In addition, the wood stork has increased its range in coastal areas. The birds have adapted to new nesting areas, tripling the number of colonies across their range from 29 to 99 in recent years.
Credit goes mainly to the wildlife protections provided by the Endangered Species Act (ESA), which can impose restrictions on a variety of activities in areas where such species are located, such as development, mining and oil drilling. The act saved the wood stork and it helped preserve and rebuild vital habitats throughout the southeast, which has improved water quality and benefited countless other species who call the area home. The Endangered Species Act has saved 99%of the species that have been on the list since 1973, with 100 types of plants and animals delisted because they have recovered or are at least stable.
The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service said that restoration of the wood stork’s habitat, especially in the Florida Everglades and adjacent Big Cypress National Preserve, led to a sharp increase in breeding pairs. Those numbers had shrunk to just 5,000 pairs in 1984, whereas there are more than 10,000 pairs today.
“The proposed delisting of the wood stork is a significant milestone and a remarkable achievement of the hard work by federal agencies, state and local governments, tribes, conservation organizations, and private citizens in protecting and restoring our most at-risk species,” Interior Secretary Deb Haaland said.
If the wood stork is delisted, officials said it would remain protected by other laws including the Migratory Bird Treaty Act and the Clean Water Act. A monitoring plan would be put in place for at least five years to ensure the stork population remains stable.

Environmental stressors that push honeybees to begin searching food earlier in life can cause a domino effect on hives(蜂巢), quickening their sudden collapse, a new study suggests.
The study showed that too many young bees leaving the hive can cause a tipping point in the tight society of a hive, leading to colony(群体) collapse within weeks.
“There was a suggestion that there was some type of difference between precocious foragers(觅食者) and normal aged foragers,” said Perry, a molecular biologist Clint Perry of Queen Mary University.
So researchers set up experimental hives that would in effect force bees to begin foraging earlier. They also tracked bees in a normal hive, where social roles are regulated, keeping age groups in balance.
Colonies regularly protect against unexpected high loss of foragers by sending bees out earlier, but they rapidly return to stability. But if death rate roughly doubled, the model showed, the colony would be locked in a negative feedback circle of more young bees foraging at younger ages, leading to less stored food and fewer baby bees.
“Since the younger bees are not as good at it they are going to die sooner, and they’re going to not be bringing back as much food, thereby causing more younger bees to go out, and more younger bees to not do as well, and that will cause continuous feedback that will destroy the colony in a short time,” said Perry.
The researchers are continuing their experiments and hope to come up with ways to identify a colony at risk of collapse. “The priority is finding ways that we can identify colonies at risk of failure as early as possible so you can intervene and do whatever you need to support them and to help heal themselves.” said Perry.
28. What cause a hive to collapse more quickly
A. Too tight a society of it. B. Too many bees in it.
C. High pressure from other bees. D. High loss of young foragers.
29. What does the underlined word “precocious” in the 3rd paragraph mean
A. abnormal B. uncommonly early C. easily damaged D. awkward
30. What would happen to the colony if twice the foragers died
A. The colony would heal itself. B. The colony would get expanded.
C. More young bees would be sent to seek food. D. More young bees would be free of risk.
31. What’s the author’s main purpose in writing the article

I didn’t show an inclination to watch his Broadway musicals, when Stephen Sondheim died on Nov. 26, 2021, at age 91. Something in me instead wanted to see Al Hirschfeld’s drawings of Sondheim’s shows and characters over the decades.
As a boy growing up in the Boston suburbs in the 1970s, Hirschfeld’s images were my first ticket to Broadway, transported by their publication in The Times’s Arts & Leisure section. And they were also how I formed an early bond with my parents, one that stood over time and even into their years with Alzheimer’s (阿尔茨海默病).
“Oklahoma!” was the first musical my parents took me to, in Boston, when I was six. Around that time, I asked them why we got The Times when we didn’t live in New York. They said they still considered themselves New Yorkers and they loved Arts & Leisure and Hirschfeld’s drawings about theater. His drawings were like a lifeline for my parents to New York City over the decades, and they helped open the door for me to Sondheim.
This is how:
I made my way to New York in 1989, as a freshman at N.Y.U., where I met a dorm mate who looked like Hirschfeld’s drawing of LittleRed Riding Hood from Sondheim’s “Into the Woods.” Her name was Danielle Ferland. I told my parents about this Hirschfeld-in-the-flesh excitedly by phone. Danielle and other friends introduced me to Sondheim’s music which evoked (唤起) my memories of Hirschfeld’s drawings.
As my parents grew older, it was harder to take them to see shows with me. But in my years as the theater reporter at The Times, they would ask what I was seeing in New York and were happy to hear about Angela Lansbury performing in a 2009 revival (重演) of Sondheim’s “A Little Night Music.” They remembered her characteristic eyes from Hirschfeld’ s drawings.
When I see them next time, I will take my book of Hirschfeld’s drawings to show them and see if they remember these drawings.
32.What does the underlined “an inclination” in paragraph 1 mean
A. An ability. B. An opportunity.
C. A tendency. D. A responsibility.
33.What do Hirschfeld’s drawings mean to the author
A. A difficult childhood.
B. A chance to work for Broadway.
C. A treatment for a disease in her later years.
D. An inseparable connection with parents.
34.What introduced the author to Sondheim’s music
A. Stories publicized on The Times.
B. The musical her parents took her to.
C. A course she signed up for at university.
D. Recommendations made by her friends.
35.What did the author’s parents still remember about “A Little Night Music”
A. The drawings of its performer. B. The excitement it had caused.
C. The performance on Broadway. D. The time of its first staging.
